... This includes evaluations of procedures to identify and rate specific kinds of air pollution damage on forest trees, field plot measurement procedures and techniques, remote sensing applications, soil and moisture rating procedures, and the assessment of current impact of air pollutants on species with known visible symptoms. As an aid for identifying locations where there may be air pollution impacts, a Geographic Information System has been developed for the South to provide information on forest resources, climate, soils, and atmospheric depostition.

... These data have been used to define procedures and to address other questions specific to the use of air pollution and deposition data for evaluation of forest conditions in the South. Mensuration and Statistics Researchers in the NVS have been analyzing data collected according to standard forest mensurational procedures and techniques.

... The most significant of these was the documentation of atmospheric deposition symptoms on trees. O A manual with over 100 color plates showing recognized air pollution damage symptoms on trees and indications of other nonpollutant stresses that may produce similar symptoms has been prepared by a panel of experts and is now available for use by scientists, foresters, pathologists, and other interested individuals.

This includes evaluations of procedures to identify and rate specific kinds of air pollution damage on forest trees, field plot measurement procedures and techniques, remote sensing applications, soil and moisture rating procedures, and the assessment of current impact of air pollutants on species with known visible symptoms. The manual for diagnosing visible symptoms is published.
